The Real Deal behind the seal.


Few things are guaranteed in life, but when you see the USDA Organic seal on a food or beverage in the US, you can rest assured that it earned its certification and the right to bear that seal as it is one of the most highly regulated and monitored food system in the US.


Organic farming ensures safe and ethical practices are used and that the land is left better than before.
